Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 742: Source Dragon Fruit

[Successfully refine the yellow-grade spiritual treasure: Azure Dragon Mace, and be rewarded with a lifespan of 1,900 years! ]

Along with a prompt text about increasing lifespan appeared in Li Qing's eyes, the Qinglong Mace finally survived the heavenly calamity and successfully turned into a unique spiritual treasure in the world!
The heavenly calamity ended, and the thick thunderclouds slowly dissipated.

A precious mace with a green glow was floating under the sky. At this moment, it seemed to have become the center of heaven and earth.

boom!
The Green Dragon King couldn't wait to soar into the sky. He grabbed the Green Dragon Mace and then repeatedly examined and played with it in his hand, with an unstoppable look of joy on his face.

"Hahahahahaha, great! It really is a powerful treasure!"

He was extremely satisfied with this yellow-grade spiritual treasure and kept laughing wildly.

With this Green Dragon Mace, he even felt that he could sweep the world. Who else in the human world could be his opponent?

A being in the Spirit Transformation Stage possesses a yellow-grade spiritual treasure, which greatly increases his strength. His combat power is absolutely top-notch in this world.

With this level of cultivation, one can already mobilize the energy of heaven and earth with one's own body, without having to worry about running out of mana.

Unlike Li Qing, even though his magic power is much stronger than that of the cultivators of the same level, he dare not use the Wind, Thunder and Silver Wings extensively, because the use of spiritual treasures consumes too much magic power.

Upon seeing this, the Black Dragon King at the back also flew up into the sky with a look of joy. He knew that after his elder brother mastered a powerful spiritual treasure, his combat power would become even stronger.

"Congratulations, big brother!" While congratulating, the Black Dragon King's eyes revealed deep envy. He wished that he would be able to master such a powerful treasure someday.

As soon as he thought of this, he made up his mind to make friends with Li Qing, the human cultivator!
For a moment, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he did not offend this human to death in Fengyuan Domain. Later, he resolved the rift and successfully established a friendship with him.

Otherwise, how could this scene happen today?
I must teach that useless nephew a lesson and make him respect Li Qing more when he sees him in the future!
Just as the Black Flood Dragon King was thinking this, a red flood dragon that was undergoing training outside a certain sea area suddenly shuddered, and no one knew where the chill came from.

As for Li Qing, he also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

He was also very happy to see that the Qinglong Mace survived this tremendous natural disaster.

"It's probably because the spiritual materials used in the Azure Dragon Mace are too precious. It managed to survive by relying on its own strength."

"There is also the Xuan Huang True Flame. Forging treasures with this spiritual fire of heaven and earth seems to make the treasures stronger. This is a wonderful use that has not been discovered before."

Li Qing was secretly delighted, as the Azure Dragon Mace was obviously more extraordinary than the Wind, Thunder and Silver Wings, so after it was refined, it increased his lifespan by 1,900 years in one go!
This is even seven hundred years longer than the lifespan he gained when he refined the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings, which shows how extraordinary this spiritual treasure is.

At present, his lifespan has increased to nearly three thousand five hundred years. In terms of lifespan alone, it is not much inferior to some powerful monsters with unique advantages.

After all, the normal lifespan of a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage is only about two thousand years. Without the help of other methods to prolong his life, his lifespan will never exceed this number.

However, such secret techniques often have various limitations, and the conditions for achieving them are extremely harsh. One would be sealed in one place for hundreds or thousands of years and unable to move, and even one's thoughts and consciousness would stop flowing, which is no different from suspended death.

But Li Qing is different. The life span he obtained is real and has no restrictions. He can spend so many years contentedly.

A lifespan of nearly three thousand five hundred years, what an astonishing number.

What made him happiest was that the Qinglong Mace was refined almost entirely by his own efforts.

Unlike the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings, that was the refining method provided to him by Senior Bailing, and he was just copying it.

Although both of them have refined spiritual treasures, there is still a huge difference between them.

This means that Li Qing is now capable of refining spiritual treasures on his own, and his attainments in refining equipment have been completely consolidated at the fifth level!

That’s right, Li Qing is now a fifth-rank weapon refiner, and the weapon refining techniques he has mastered are superb!

Throughout the ages, looking at the entire human world, even in the distant future, there are few people who can compare with Li Qing.

He represents the pinnacle of weapon-refining techniques in this world and is a true pioneer.

Even a fool knows that one must befriend such people. Even if one cannot become friends with them, one must never become enemies with them.

The Green Dragon King was naturally not a stupid being. He suppressed his joy at getting the Green Dragon Mace, and then swallowed it in one gulp. He turned around and looked at Li Qing and said:

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Li Qing, since you just happened to have a treasure refined, why don't you go to Dragon Palace to celebrate together?"

"My Jiaolong clan owes you a huge favor for this matter, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

As he spoke, the Green Dragon King looked at his second brother, the Black Dragon King, and asked, "By the way, I remember that the Dragon Fruit in our clan should be almost ripe. I will get it and give it to Fellow Daoist Li later!"

When these words came out, the Black Dragon King was slightly stunned, and asked in disbelief: "Brother, the source dragon fruit is indeed ripe, but the fourth brother is still hoping to use it to advance to the middle stage of transformation!"

The Green Dragon King waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I don't know the character of that lazy fellow, Old Four. I have already made up my mind about this matter. The Yuanlong Fruit will be regarded as the reward for Brother Li Dao for refining the treasure this time!"

As the strongest of the Jiaolong clan, King Qing Jiao naturally has this arbitrary and tyrannical power!

"Fellow Daoist Li, how about we move to the Dragon Palace now?"

Looking at the kind-faced Green Dragon King, Li Qing was a little amused and helpless for a moment. He didn't expect that the Green Dragon King had changed the way he addressed him.

Before, the other party only called him Li Xiaoyou, but now after he showed his attainments in the fifth-level weapon refining technique, King Qing Jiao now completely regarded him as a being of the same level.

But it is normal to think about it. Throughout the years from ancient times to the present, there have always been many cultivators in the God Transformation Stage in the world of immortal cultivation.

However, there are only a handful of weapon refiners who have achieved the fifth level of weapon refining attainments.

In this regard, Li Qing did not refuse the invitation of the Green Dragon King. In fact, he also wanted to know what the so-called Source Dragon Fruit was that made the Black Dragon King so concerned about it.

Judging from this attitude, this spiritual fruit should be somewhat extraordinary, and it is extremely precious and rare even among the dragon clan.

"Then I'd rather obey than be respectful. The spiritual treasure has been refined, so we should celebrate!"

Seeing that Li Qing accepted his invitation, King Qing Jiao also laughed.

"Hahahaha, then Brother Li, please come with me to the banquet!"

In the next three days, the Undersea Dragon Palace did as the Green Dragon King said and held a grand banquet to entertain Li Qing.

During the banquet that lasted for three days and three nights, some sea creatures near the East China Sea also sent their strong men to pay a visit.

During the banquet, Li Qing undoubtedly became the focus of attention and entered the sight of these sea creatures.

It’s just because King Qing Jiao has always been on good terms with Li Qing and his attitude is very kind, which was basically never seen in the past!
“Hahahaha, come on, come on, Brother Li, drink this cup. This is a kind of blood wine from the blood shark tribe. It has an extremely strong taste and can nourish the qi and blood.”

As he spoke, King Qing Jiao poured Li Qing a full cup of blood-red spiritual wine.

Li Qing drank it all in one gulp, and then his eyes narrowed due to the stimulation of the strong smell of alcohol. He was also a wine lover, and he had drunk many kinds of spiritual wine over the years, so when drinking, he did not like to use magic power to remove the alcohol, so that he could taste the mellow taste of the wine.

The blood wine brewed by the blood shark tribe was indeed extremely pungent. It was the strongest spiritual wine he had ever tasted in all these years.

"What a delight!" Li Qing shouted happily, extremely satisfied with the taste of the blood wine.

Seeing this, the Green Dragon King on the side also laughed happily.

At this moment, a small dragon swam over and whispered a few words in the ear of the Green Dragon King.

The Green Dragon King waved his hand casually, then looked at Li Qing with a kind smile: "Friend Li, the source dragon fruit has been delivered, please follow me!"

Li Qing was shocked after hearing this. The alcohol in his body disappeared immediately and he became sober.

He has been thinking about the Source Dragon Fruit these past few days. He really wants to know what kind of spiritual fruit it is and why it is so precious even among the Jiaolong clan.

So he followed King Qing Jiao to the back hall, and soon a mermaid with black moles all over her face came over with a jade plate.

The jade plate was covered with a layer of golden cloth, and inside it was something about the size of an adult's fist.

Just by taking a glance, Li Qing felt as if there was a faint pressure emanating from it, and it was like the power of a dragon, very pure!

When King Qing Jiao saw this, he waved his hand and took the jade plate from the mermaid maid.

Uncover the golden cloth to reveal a plump, pale yellow fruit.

"Fellow Daoist Li, this is the Source Dragon Fruit. This fruit is produced by the Source Dragon Fruit Tree, and only one fruit is produced every five hundred years!"

"You may not have heard of the Yuanlong fruit tree. This tree can only grow in a special terrain called the Dragon's Nest. Apart from this, it cannot survive anywhere else."

"There is only one of these trees in my Jiaolong clan. We have tried to plant new dragon fruit trees over the years, but unfortunately we have not succeeded. It seems that there can only be one dragon fruit tree in a dragon nest."

King Qing Jiao showed a look of regret, but still handed the Yuanlong Fruit to Li Qing, and then he talked about some of the benefits of this fruit.

"This fruit contains a strange secret power and carries a rebellious will. After swallowing it, you must subdue it with your own spiritual consciousness."

"After surrendering, that secret power will be absorbed into the body, improving one's own cultivation and making one's magic power more powerful!"

"Originally, the fourth brother wanted to use this fruit to advance to the middle stage of transformation, but it would be a waste for him to take this fruit. If he were not so lazy, he would have succeeded in the breakthrough with his talent. This time, let's just teach him a lesson so that he will remember it."

Hearing this, Li Qing did not pretend to refuse. He solemnly put away the Source Dragon Fruit.

"Thank you, Senior Qing Jiao King!"

At this time, Li Qing still called King Qing Jiao "senior" and did not feel complacent because of his advanced weapon refining skills. After all, the other party's cultivation was far better than his, so he should still call him senior.

"Wan Shengtian once came to ask for a Yuanlong Fruit, but I refused."

“Hahahaha, but Fellow Daoist Li, you are a friend of my Jiaolong Clan, so this reward is naturally due to you, so just accept it.”

"The banquet is almost over. You should refine this fruit as soon as possible."

King Qing Jiao was still full of sincerity. He had invested a lot of money in order to make friends with Li Qing.

Li Qing naturally kept this in mind. He nodded, and began to refine the Source Dragon Fruit on the spot in the Dragon Palace.

This fruit feels heavy in the hand, but it does not give off any strange fragrance and looks plain and simple.

In the Dragon Palace, there is naturally no need to worry about being disturbed. This is the best place for practicing.

Li Qing swallowed the source dragon fruit in one gulp. In an instant, faint dragon roars sounded in his body.

"Roar! Roar!"

Immediately afterwards, a dragon's might emerged, causing Li Qing's mind to feel a little uneasy.

But how powerful is his soul?

How could he surrender with just this little bit of dragon power, which is not the pressure of a real dragon?

Immediately, he released his spiritual consciousness and began to subdue this unruly pressure that was like that of a real dragon, suppressing it tightly within his body.

After a long time, the dragon's might finally dissipated, and that strange willpower also disappeared.

Soon, a pure and surging energy flowed into Li Qing's dantian. There was no need to refine it too much. The energy easily merged with Li Qing.

Li Qing's cultivation began to improve slowly again, and his magic power became stronger bit by bit. This was much easier than his hard practice and meditation.

In this way, another three days passed.

When Li Qing completely absorbed the medicinal power of the Source Dragon Fruit, his aura became stronger again, and the magic power in his body increased by about 20%.

He is one step closer to the late Nascent Soul stage, and it will only be a matter of time before he touches that bottleneck.

"Yes, this fruit is indeed extraordinary. Just one of them has improved my cultivation so much."

"I just wonder what effect this fruit would have if it were made into a pill."

However, Li Qing just thought about it. The Source Dragon Fruit was the secret of the Jiaolong Clan, and it was almost impossible for alchemists from the outside world to obtain it.

Moreover, it takes five hundred years to produce one fruit, and the output is so minimal that it is impossible to use it to make pills.

After all, the recipe for a pill doesn't just appear out of nowhere. It requires constant testing and summarizing experience from many failures before it can be made.

But obviously there are not so many source dragon fruits in the human world for alchemists to try to create new pill formulas. That is not realistic.

Just after Li Qing had refined the medicinal properties of the Yuanlong Fruit, two dragons, one red and one black, swam towards the outside of the hall.

It was the Black Dragon King and his fourth brother, the Red Dragon King!
"Fellow Daoist Li, the day when Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will invite you is coming soon. Since you have also received the invitation, why not go to Tianji Island together?" The Black Dragon King said loudly outside the palace.

Li Qing nodded and responded: "Well, let's go together. It just so happens that I don't know the location of Tianji Island yet."

Having said that, Li Qing stood up and walked out.

Outside the hall, next to the Black Flood Dragon King, a mighty red dragon was looking at Li Qing with a slightly unfriendly gaze.
